Would be a perfect Recon plane for Blue-Flag ;)

I never knew it was carrier capable damn

 

 

The C-130 is carrier capable too.

In theory any STOL aircraft is carrier capable.

Well, yes and no. A C-130 landed and started several times from USS Forrestal, but all other aircraft had to be removed from the flight deck because of the enourmes wing span of the Herc, so the Navy decided to use the C-2 Greyhound for aircraft carrier delivery instead of the much bigger C-130.

I just never figured the OV-10 was used by the navy and marines, thought only the air force used it, tho I wouldn't mind trying it with a C-130 given the opportunity :)

I was inverted B)

Even the U-2 was carrier capable, there were a couple of variants specifically made for operations from a carrier, USS Kitty Hawk had the pleasure of the first landing of a U-2G in 1963, later USS Ranger in 1964 and USS America in 1969 with the U-2R.

 

 

I first read about it in Chris Pocock's book Dragon Lady: The history of the U2 spy plane.

AFAIK, the US Navy never considered using the C-130 as a COD aircraft. The test was to check the possibility to use C-130 a la Dolittle's raid on Tokyo, when B-25s took off from Navy carriers, for emergency deployment of troops, etc.
